  1. In The Footsteps Of The Master:The Life and Times of Jesus Christ The Word Became Flesh September 14, 2008 www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  2. How Do We Know What God Is Like? • What He likes and doesn’t like • What pleases Him and what doesn’t • This Question brings us to JESUS • God is not playing some cosmic game of hide-and-go-seek. • He put on Flesh and Bone www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  3. Fully God Fully Man • Jesus’ words are God’s words (12:49) • Jesus’ actions are God’s actions (14:10) • Whoever knows Jesus know God (14:7) • Whoever has seen Jesus has seen God (14:9) • Whoever hears Jesus hears God (14:24) • Whoever loves Jesus loves God (14:21) • Whoever hates Jesus hates God (15:23) • Jesus and God are one www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  4. Dwelt • John 1:14 • In the Greek it means literally “to throw up a tent” • Revelation 21:1-3 uses same Greek word • There will be a new heaven and a new earth and a dwelling of God among men • So in view of God’s eternal reign over all things, it says that heaven is a tent of the Lord among men www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  5. Comparison • Neighbor 1 builds monstrosity of a house • Mote, 12 foot fence, barbed wire, guard dogs • The message is, “I don’t want to interact with you” • Neighbor 2 “throws up a tent” • When you mow, get the mail, wash the car….. There he is… all the time • It seems if instead of building a mansion, you built a tent, there would be a lot of interaction between us www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  6. He wants to be known • You see, everything we could ever know about God is found in Jesus because Jesus is God • It’s what separates us out from what other religions believe • We don’t follow a prophet but God in the Flesh! • Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God……. www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  7. Back to the Question • How do we know what God is like? • His interaction with the woman at the well • His interaction with the disciples • He doesn’t prefer the spiritual elite but the anybodies • His interaction with the Pharisees • His heart for those genuinely seeking Him • That the children loved Jesus www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info

  8. Our Study • So when you watch and study the life of Christ you learn about the life and heart of God. www.FootstepsOfTheMaster.info
